If you got into an argument, and someone called 911, chances are, someone is going to jail. People think that the police will just come out and calm things down. Most of the time however, when the police respond, someone is going to jail. The police are afraid that if they don’t arrest someone, and the argument later turns deadly, they will get sued. Someone is going to jail. Many times it is the wrong person. Men are at a disadvantage, particularly if the responding officer is a woman. Many times the police side with the woman, even if she was the instigator or the real aggressor. As a Sarasota criminal defense attorney, all too often I see a first appearance judge set a high bond, or set release conditions that make it all but impossible for the parties to reconcile. In my opinion, what couples need is help, not another impediment to reuniting.
